Aren’t the Russian hypersonic missiles essentially just regular ballistic missiles? I remember reading something saying that calling them hypersonic was a stretch, and they have been intercepted by standard missile defense systems which actual hypersonic missiles wouldn’t be.

I think they have gliding capabilities and can maneuver but they generally follow a predictable trajectory and thats why they are able to be shot down, because if they do maneuver they lose a stupid amount of range.
